According to one job ad (via OXM), the studio's looking for a design director for an "unannounced new IP". The successful candidate will have "experience implementing compelling content in third-person action games".

"Capcom Vancouver is growing!" it says. "We have two unannounced projects in the pipe and there is lots of work to be done. We need the help of smart, passionate and dedicated people to help us make our open world action games!"

Another job advert mentions "two new AAA titles" on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Capcom Vancouver is also rumoured to be making Dead Rising 3.

    Us PC gamers are left out yet again, no wonder why the general viewpoint of us is that we're elitists is because we never get what we want.

    It's not our fault our hardware is better, they keep making everything exclusive to consoles and the versions of games we get, a lot of times are poor ports of them. I'm not saying there's not a lot of games, exclusive or multi-platform for PC gamers to choose from, but I agree.

    Companies continuously p**sing on PC gamers certainly isn't helping the piracy industry.

    :| Would it be too much to ask for an open world Onimusha game? But as long as it's not a 3D Streets of Rage then I'll be happy.

    Just realised it says an

    "unannounced new IP

    but then says

    Another job advert mentions "two new AAA titles" on Xbox 360 and PS3

    so my point is still valid (before anyone points that out).

    I always wanted to love the Dead rising games but they are so damn slow and plodding to begin with that it makes a mockery of the genre.

    I see why the vast majority of gamers love them but for me they need to be a lot quicker from the start, levelling up weapons etc i understand but learning to walk faster..... Are you kidding me???

    PC gamers have Dead island though right? trust me you have a better game than dead rising 2
